Steam, the PC gaming platform owned by Valve, has reportedly rejected a game for using AI-generated art assets. Valve cited unclear ownership of the AI-created art as the reason. In a message to the developer, Valve said the game had AI-created art assets that appeared to use copyrighted material from third parties. - As a result, Valve said it could not ship the game with those assets unless the developers confirmed ownership of the IP used in the AI's training dataset.
- Despite the developer's efforts to improve the AI-generated assets by hand, the game was rejected again upon resubmission.
- Steam hasn't disclosed a formal policy on AI-generated art, though it doesn't prohibit games featuring "content you don't own or have adequate rights to."
